Formview/Gridview Master/Detail Gridview DataSource Null

Hello All,

I have a gridview inside the edittemplate of a formview.
I want the gridview to display in the formview when there are not records in the datatable so I am creating a dummy row. When I debug the dtHist.Row.Count is 1 after creating the new empty row
but the gridview DataSource is null so I get the famous Object reference not set to an instance of an object. NullReference.

Any Ideas ???
Thanks in Advance

private void MedFill()
{
DataTable dtHist = hist.Fetch(AcctNo, dttrig);
GridView gvMedHist = (GridView)fvHyal.FindControl("gvMedHist");
if (dtHist.Rows.Count > 0)
{
gvMedHist.DataSource = dtHist;
gvMedHist.DataBind();
}
else
{
dtHist.Rows.Add(dtHist.NewRow()); //create empty row
gvMedHist.DataSource = dtHist;
gvMedHist.DataBind();

int TotalColumns = gvMedHist.Rows[0].Cells.Count;
gvMedHist.Rows[0].Cells.Clear();
gvMedHist.Rows[0].Cells.Add(new TableCell());
gvMedHist.Rows[0].Cells[0].ColumnSpan = TotalColumns;
gvMedHist.Rows[0].Cells[0].Text = "No Record Found";
}
}

Binding GridView inside FormView Control

Hi, I checked your MedFill method. It works like gem. No problem in your code. Just make sure from where you call this method. It has to be called from the FormView's DataBound event as below, protected void FormView1_DataBound(object sender, EventArgs e) { MedFill(); } Reply me, if problem still exists.
